CHICAGO - The Reds did not pop the corks on any champagne. There were no beer showers. Not even a "woo" or two was uttered in the clubhouse postgame.

The Reds clinched a playoff spot Thursday with a 5-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs at before a crowd of 25,891 at Wrigley Field. With the win, the Reds can do no worse than the second Wild Card spot. But they are thinking about things much better than that.
